Definitions
- the invention relates to an evaporative heat exchanger according to the preamble of patent claim 1.
- Evaporative heat exchangers are used for this purpose.
- the basic principle of such heat exchangers is that the medium to be cooled in an active liquid circuit for heat dissipation is brought into heat-transferring contact with a medium to be evaporated, which is stored in an on-board storage container and which is then released into the environment in the form of steam from the spacecraft.
- the cooling liquid flows through individual channels through a process space into which the medium to be evaporated is sprayed in droplets through an inlet valve.
- the cooling liquid flows openly through the process space, while the medium to be evaporated is passed through this space through individual, generally bundle-like channels.
- the cooling liquid is additionally forced to a meandering flow pattern by orifices arranged in the process space.
- the object of the invention is to design an evaporative heat exchanger according to the generic term so that it offers a simple and at the same time functionally reliable option for regulating the evaporative temperature of the medium to be evaporated.
- the pressure of the vaporized medium is influenced by a variation in the outlet cross section and in this way at the same time the vaporization temperature is influenced so that a risk of icing is reliably excluded.
- This is done in a particularly simple manner in that the steam flow is divided into several partial flows, each of which is passed through separate exhaust covers.
- the evaporation pressure can then be influenced in a simple manner by specifically opening or closing individual ones of these orifices.
- the opening or closing can be carried out by a control device, in the simplest case a bimetal spring, which is acted upon by the inlet temperature of the cooling liquid.
- the evaporative heat exchanger shown in Fig. 1 consists of a cylindrical housing 1, in which a bundle of similar tubes 3 is arranged in a process space 2, which run parallel to the longitudinal axis of the housing 1 and which, as shown in particular by the cross-sectional view in Fig. 4, evenly distributed over the entire cross section of the process space are.
- the distance between the individual tubes 3 is chosen to be at least as large as the distance that the imaginary edge of the tube bundle is from the inner wall of the housing 1.
- the ends of the housing 1 each have a connecting flange 4 or 5, via which the housing 1 is connected to two end bodies 6 and 7, the construction of which is explained in more detail below.
- left end body 6 has a central inlet space 8 for the medium to be evaporated, in the case of the embodiment of the invention described here ammonia (NH3), which tapers conically in the direction of an inlet valve 9.
- NH3 ammonia
- the radius of the inlet space 8, which is open towards the process space 2 is dimensioned such that it comprises an inner group of tubes 3, the number of which is approximately 50 percent of the total number of tubes 3 present. These tubes protrude through a perforated plate 10, which forms the actual closure of the process space 2, into the interior of the inlet space 8.
- FIG. 3 Two of these outlet openings 12 to 15, which are hidden in the illustration in FIG. 1, can be seen in FIG. 3.
- the outlet openings 12 to 15 can each be closed by screens, not shown here, as will be explained in more detail with reference to FIG. 10.
- Fig. 3 in which the arrangement described above is shown rotated by 90 o with respect to the representation according to FIG
- Another outlet 16 and an inlet 17 can be seen, both of which are provided for the cooling liquid, in the present case water, and which are connected directly to the process space 2. While the outlet 16 is arranged on a region of enlarged diameter of the housing 1, the inlet 17 is located on a cylindrical partial region of the end body 7 on the right in the drawing.
- the tubes 3 containing the medium to be evaporated are led to a collecting space 18 which delimits the interior of the closure body 7 and via which the group of inner tubes 3 which are connected to the inlet space 8 are connected to the group of external tubes 3.
- baffles are arranged inside the process space 2. These deflecting diaphragms are, on the one hand, perforated diaphragms 19 as shown in FIG. 5 and in which an opening 20 remains in the middle of the process space 2.
- there are ring diaphragms 21 which open an opening in the form of an annular gap in the process space 2.
- the entire arrangement is mounted on a carrier 22.
- FIG. 7 The mode of operation of the arrangement described above is to be explained on the basis of a second exemplary embodiment of the invention, which is initially illustrated in FIG. 7 by means of a greatly simplified schematic diagram.
- this schematic diagram has omitted the representation of the process space present between the individual tubes 33 which carry the medium to be evaporated.
- the tubes 33 arranged in the interior of a housing 31 in a process space 32 are combined into a total of three groups: a central group 34, consisting of approximately 20 to 30 tubes arranged in the center of the bundle, an intermediate group 35 with approximately the same number of tubes and an edge group 36 with approximately 30 to 40 tubes.
- these groups of tubes are connected to one another via collection spaces, specifically groups 34 and 35 via the central collection space 37 and groups 35 and 36, on the inlet side of the medium to be evaporated, via the annular collection space 38. which surrounds the inlet opening 39 for the medium to be evaporated.
- the evaporated medium is collected in an outlet space 40.
- the latter is closed by a plate 52 shown in FIG. 9, in which a plurality of perforated screens 53 to 56 are arranged.
- the centrally arranged diaphragm 53 cannot be changed, while the diaphragms 54 to 56 can each be closed by a mechanism as shown in FIG. 10.
- This mechanism consists of a flap 57, which is held on a bimetallic spring 58, which in turn is inserted between two tubes 59 and 60. The latter belong to a loop through which a portion of the cooling liquid entering the process space 32 flows.
- baffles 49 and 51 are alternately provided.
- the inlet and outlet opening for the cooling liquid flowing through the process space have been omitted in this illustration.
- the directions of movement for the liquid, in this case again water, and the medium to be evaporated, ammonia, are each identified by arrows.
- the coolant enters the right part of the process space in the drawing with an inlet temperature which, in the case of the exemplary embodiment described here, is between about 24 and 67 ° C. Then flowing between the tubes with the medium to be evaporated therethrough, while the majority of transfers in its contained heat to this medium before exiting with a temperature of about 5 to 6 o C from the process space.
- the deflecting orifices arranged alternately in the process space, as can be seen in FIG. 6, cause a meandering flow of the cooling liquid, which leads to constant renewed mixing and thus to a very homogeneous temperature distribution of the strands of cooling liquid flowing between the tubes.
- the medium to be evaporated On the other side is fed the medium to be evaporated with an inlet temperature of about -10 o C to the central group of tubes.
- the medium to be evaporated When flowing through the tubes, it heats up to the evaporation temperature and may already start to evaporate.
- the end of the tubes At the end of the tubes it gets into the common room for all tubes in the central group, which is at the end of the exhaust pipe, from where it is redirected and introduced into the tubes of the intermediate group. Here it mixes due to the deflection by 180 o .
- the ammonia now flows in the same direction as the water to be cooled from the ammonia exhaust side to the ammonia injection side and evaporates almost completely.
- the ammonia - loaded with a few residual drops - flows again against the water flow through the edge tubes to the water inlet and ammonia outlet side of the heat exchanger.
- it heats up to a residual temperature difference of about 5 to 10 o C to the water inlet temperature, which, depending on the load, is between 24 and 67 o C and finally enters the outlet space 40 delimited by the plate 52.
- opening and closing one or Several of the orifices 54 to 56 can now set the evaporation pressure so that there is no risk of icing for the coolant.
- the aperture is varied as a function of the inlet temperature of the coolant, so that the optimum operating state is guaranteed at all times.
